Thanks!
Figure out your budget and setups first, of course breeding quality discus will be much more profitable than breeding dempseys, but do you have the ability and budget to breed such fish? I'd say fester are popular but there are good established sources of them on here, maybe some of the Dempsey morphs go for decent money and wouldn't be too difficult. Ebjd platinum etc
If you're planning on a really small scale breeding business, you should shoot for a jobbers license. These licenses don't require a minimum business profit margin to continue a standard business license.
As with all small-scale home businesses, your best investment would be in taking a small business administration course to ensure you're running your business legally and frugally.

So I am going to do it!!! I am going to breed the following:
-Ebjd x gold dempseys to get platinum dempseys
-Red headed severums
-Figured it would be cool to do something hardly any business has done and breed redbreasted sunfish(opinions?)
-Red headed severums will be in a 55 with a 15 gallon fry growout and 37 baby growout(than big enough to be sold)
-Jack dempseys will go into my 62 gallon with the 15 galln going to also be a growout and the 37 until they're big enough to sell
-Redbreasts are going to be in an outdoor pond and breed when the seasons change, and I can just Dipnet them
I will get my liscense too, and than slowly invest in Craigslist tanks and maybe those marineland mars/ commercial aquariums with all the different compartments in a single unit if I come across a cheap one.

To do what you're talking about, you would want a garage full of kiddie pools at the very least. If you wanted to actually be making money, you need stock available when people want it. For instance if I look for a product on a website and it says "coming soon" I simply go to another website. If I were you, and I also live in New Jersey, I would breed native fishes. Sunfish, crappie, largemouth, that sort of thing, and setup a couple of contracts to keep ponds stocked every year. There are literally hundreds of 55+ communities here that have stocked ponds for old folks to fish. Then I would gradually get into the tropical scene. The native fishes here are small enough to breed in your garage and don't need heat. It would also give you important lessons on how to have juvenile fish on demand.
